Abstract
This quantitative study dealt with some lipid components related to human nutrition and health namely High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL), Triglyceride, important Omega-3-Fatty Acids namely α-Linolenic Acid (ALA), Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA), and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) in the major consumable part the muscle in some minor carps found in the markets of Dhubri-Town; namely Mystus vittatus, Trichogaster fasciata, Glossogobius giuris, Nandus Meni and Macrognathus aral. Fishes were found to be rich source of High Density Lipoprotein and mentioned Omega-3-Fatty Acids. These were also found to be of lower contents of Low Density Lipoprotein, Very Low Density Lipoprotein and Triglyceride.

Key words: Lipoprotein, Omega-3-Fatty Acid, minor carps.
